I generated the source using the -c option on translate_pypy (I did use -t-lowmem as well). I then compiled the generated C code by hand after having exited the translate_pypy process. I did it once successfully without -O of any kind, then I had problems with a compile using -O2. All the information was about a cc1 process (it's the compiler process gcc uses). The info was gathered using top.
I am quite certain the machine was not swapping (I would have heard it. I listen for disk noise.) and that the process was using 100% CPU (which it could not have been doing if it were swapping). Also the 2098 was CPU time not realtime. So time to swap data from/to disk would not have been counted. I must not have included enough information to make it clear what I did. I'm sorry. -Arthur On 9/6/2005, "Christian Tismer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Arthur Peters wrote: > >> Yes, it used ~430MB VM (I'm remembering this, so could be wrong); ~360MB >> of the was in RAM.
